It's sad. That's a living creature. We don't have the right to take their life away for fashion. ~ Carmen Electra
Vegetarian quotes by Carmen Electra
It is necessary to correct the error that vegetarianism has made us weak in mind, or passive or inert in action. I do not regard flesh-food as necessary at any stage ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Vegetarian quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Genesis 9 is where the animals went wild, and God gave them wildness. After the flood, that's when he made animals wild. Up until that time, everybody was vegetarian. ~ Phil Robertson
Vegetarian quotes by Phil Robertson
The sort of man who likes to spend his time watching a cage of monkeys chase one another, or a lion gnaw its tail, or a lizard catch flies, is precisely the sort of man whose mental weakness should be combated at the public expense, not fostered. ~ H.L. Mencken
Vegetarian quotes by H.L. Mencken
Most people see a documentary about the meat industry and then they become a vegetarian for a week. ~ Jason Reitman
Vegetarian quotes by Jason Reitman
I'll keep it," she said. "Then, when you get back, after you and the dark one are done making out and planning a future filled with blond-haired, green-eyed, pigment-challeneged rug rats, I'll bring it over and you can add it to your scrapbook, right before you start cooking me dinner. I like vegetarian lasagna with cottage cheese instead of ricotta."
"Gwen?"
"And don't forget the mushrooms. Garlic bread, too, please. That is, as long as your vampire lover doesn't object."
"I want to say thank you," Isobel said. "For ... everything."
"No," Gwen said. "Thank you for the delicious dinner. I can almost taste the baklava you and Darth Vader will be making for dessert. Something tells me you're gonna have to look that one up, though. ~ Kelly Creagh
Vegetarian quotes by Kelly Creagh
In our house, some of our favourite recipes just happen to be vegetarian, but I still enjoy meat and I believe very much in meat. ~ Delia Smith
Vegetarian quotes by Delia Smith
GE is the biggest polluter of the Hudson.. years ago they killed all the fish dumping millions of lbs. of pcb's into our waterways. Now let's make them pay for the cleanup. ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Vegetarian quotes by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
You can shoot the tiger, or stay out of his way, but you cannot pronounce him a vegetarian. ~ Richard Mitchell
Vegetarian quotes by Richard Mitchell
When I'm cooking for myself, I find that I eat almost completely vegetarian, although I'm not vegetarian. ~ Gail Simmons
Vegetarian quotes by Gail Simmons
My wife Kimora once told me while we were watching "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that it's a vegetarian movie because the way that the woman was screaming, "Aaaahhh," and trying to run away is how every animal you eat reacted at the slaughterhouse. ~ Russell Simmons
Vegetarian quotes by Russell Simmons
I've been vegetarian since the 80s and, lately, even vegan. And I once happened to witness the slaughter of a cow. What atrocity must undergo an animal to satisfy the appetite of those fat
men who eat hamburgers! ~ Anthony Kiedis
Vegetarian quotes by Anthony Kiedis
Only fools argue whether to eat meat or not. They don't understand truth, nor do they meditate on it. Who can define what is meat and what is plant? Who knows where the sin lies, being a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian? ~ Guru Nanak
Vegetarian quotes by Guru Nanak
Vegetarian and frugal it may be, but the chickpea is one of the most versatile ingredients you could keep in your cupboards. ~ Yotam Ottolenghi
Vegetarian quotes by Yotam Ottolenghi
The mass of the population before the modern era rarely ate meat as the mass of the peasantry rarely do in underdeveloped countries today. In Europe, in the Middle Ages, meat, especially red meat, was associated with aristocracy, landed gentry and their militaristic and hunting culture. It was this, also, that tended to strengthen the association of meat with power and aggression. ~ Malcolm Hamilton
Vegetarian quotes by Malcolm Hamilton
No vegetarian has been able to achieve a single Nobel prize. It is a clear-cut condemnation of vegetarianism. Why do all the Nobel prizes go to non-vegetarians? - because vegetarian food does not contain those proteins which create intelligence. And unless we provide those proteins, intelligence cannot grow. The body is a very delicate phenomenon and it needs a very well balanced diet. ~ Rajneesh
Vegetarian quotes by Rajneesh
I asked a girl once why she was vegetarian. I said, is it because you love animals? And she replied, no it's because I had plants. To that I said, don't ever let someone take you to see the Palace Gardens- you'd both end up in jail. ~ Kelly Batten
Vegetarian quotes by Kelly Batten
Expection the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian. ~ Dennis Wholey
Vegetarian quotes by Dennis Wholey
Wellness Salute! ~ SupaNova Slom
Vegetarian quotes by SupaNova Slom
My mother taught me a lot about respect for all living things - for plants and animals. I am a vegetarian. I was brought up that way. ~ David LaChapelle
Vegetarian quotes by David LaChapelle
I took care of myself. Basically I'm a vegetarian, I run every day, I exercise. I kind of control my living habits. I try to get a good night's sleep every night, I don't stay up all night and do all that stuff. ~ Johnny Ramistella
Vegetarian quotes by Johnny Ramistella
I will represent all of the people of Ohio, regardless of their background. I don't care if you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian or a vegetarian, I will be blind to race, religion or any kind of orientation. ~ Josh Mandel
Vegetarian quotes by Josh Mandel
We need to take vegetables out of the role of side dish, even in low-fat, vegetarian diets, whose calories are generally derived mainly from grains and other starches. ~ Joel Fuhrman
Vegetarian quotes by Joel Fuhrman
There's so many vegetarian foods now that are available at the market . The same with drive-throughs. Now, a lot of them serve veggie burgers just like the restaurants are doing. So, it's really very easy. ~ Kevin Nealon
Vegetarian quotes by Kevin Nealon
It appeals to the higher nature of the self to put aside food which once lived - I do not consider myself food, why should I ask all other creatures to consider themselves so? ~ Catherynne M Valente
Vegetarian quotes by Catherynne M Valente
I have a trainer who comes three times a week and just listens to me moan ... and I keep fit and keep moving ... and I do watch what I eat. I am a vegetarian ... I can't eat crazy food. I'm highly allergic to onions and garlic and spices ... I've never had a pizza, never had a curry. ~ Ringo Starr
Vegetarian quotes by Ringo Starr
I was a vegan for two years, and I really enjoyed it. Then, I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else, so now I'm a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise, drink lots of water, and take really good care of yourself. ~ Lea Michele
Vegetarian quotes by Lea Michele
As for meat, I'm not going to become vegetarian. I'm telling you that right now. I want me a steak. I want me a pork chop. I want me a lamb chop, even a piece of duck every once in awhile. We used to have ham and salami, all that crazy stuff. I can't eat processed food. I've got to find local farmers and get natural foods. ~ Sharon Jones
Vegetarian quotes by Sharon Jones
Vegetarian is like raising a kid Mennonite. It's difficult but not that different. Raising your kid vegan is like being Amish. A totally different world. ~ Victoria Moran
Vegetarian quotes by Victoria Moran
My own experience as a person with blood type O was that my health, strength, and vitality significantly improved when I became a vegetarian ... I have also found a significant number of very healthy vegetarians who are Type O. ~ Gabriel Cousens
Vegetarian quotes by Gabriel Cousens
When I was 12, I first made the decision to go vegetarian after a co-star's line 'I don't eat anything with a face' suddenly shocked me into reality. ~ Renee Olstead
Vegetarian quotes by Renee Olstead
I became a vegetarian because I was persuaded that life is as valid for other creatures as it is for humans. I do not need dead animal bodies to keep me alive, strong and healthy. Therefore, I will not kill for food. ~ Helen And Scott Nearing
Vegetarian quotes by Helen And Scott Nearing
I never eat meat as I think it is wrong to deprive animals of their life when they are so difficult to chew anyway ~ Leonora Carrington
Vegetarian quotes by Leonora Carrington
I enjoy three meals a day, and 90 per cent of what I eat is vegetarian and homemade. I occasionally eat non-vegetarian, and chicken preparations are my favourite. ~ Saina Nehwal
Vegetarian quotes by Saina Nehwal
My refusing to eat meat occasioned inconveniency, and I have been frequently chided for my singularity. But my light repast allows for greater progress, for greater clearness of head and quicker comprehension. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Vegetarian quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I became a vegetarian in 1958 and it was very difficult in those days to really maintain that because there weren't many options ... alternatives. But, now, it's a growing trend because ... the economics are there. See, there's simply enough people demanding it that it's profitable to supply vegetarians with those products. ~ Dennis Weaver
Vegetarian quotes by Dennis Weaver
Some of the best things about being a vegetarian include, of course, contributing towards the welfare of animals. Being a vegetarian can also make you a healthier person, and it helps the environment. All of these things make vegetarianism worthwhile. It's really a win-win situation. ~ Laura Mennell
Vegetarian quotes by Laura Mennell
A pacifist between wars is like a vegetarian between meals. ~ Ammon Hennacy
Vegetarian quotes by Ammon Hennacy
I'm a vegetarian who doesn't like eggplant parmesan. Isn't that awful? I'm also sick of portobello mushrooms. People are like, 'A vegetarian's coming to dinner,' so they serve those. ~ Candy Crowley
Vegetarian quotes by Candy Crowley
The vegetarian movement ought to fill with gladness the souls of those who have at heart the realization of God's kingdom upon earth, not because vegetarianism itself is such an important step towards the realization of this kingdom (all real steps are equally important or unimportant), but because it serves as a criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of man is genuine and sincere. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Vegetarian quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Whenever I visit a market and see the chickens crowded together in tiny cages that give them no room to move around and spread their wings and the fish slowly drowning in the air, my heart goes out to them. People have to learn to think about animals in a different way, as sentient beings who love life and fear death. I urge everyone who can to adopt a compassionate vegetarian diet. ~ Dalai Lama
Vegetarian quotes by Dalai Lama
Well, you can't expect a lion to stop pouncing on you just because you are a vegetarian, as the saying goes. Yes! Shit happens to everybody, regardless of how good at heart you are.This is karma and it will screw you. ~ Kavipriya Moorthy
Vegetarian quotes by Kavipriya Moorthy
Cows are exceptionally gentle, loving beings who form strong bonds with their family and friends. Separating any mother from her child, as is routine practise within the dairy industry, inflicts upon both a cruelty beyond words. ~ Mango Wodzak
Vegetarian quotes by Mango Wodzak
No, I'm not a vegetarian. I do eat that way. I actually eat vegan quite a lot. I feel better when I eat that way, and I think there's been a lot of proof that's come up over the last however many years, that you can't deny, I don't think, that meat or dairy aren't all that good for us. ~ Hayley Williams
Vegetarian quotes by Hayley Williams
Our family holidays always include our animals. On Thanksgiving, we love to walk around our farm and visit with our rescued pigs, goats, horses, emus and many other rescued animals. We give them all special vegetables that day, and the whole family enjoys a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner. We know that the animals are giving thanks that day, and we are also giving thanks for the joy they bring to our lives. ~ Noah Wyle
Vegetarian quotes by Noah Wyle
In a situation where flesh is consumed, vegetarians inevitably call attention to themselves. They have made something absent on their plates; perhaps a verbal demurral has been required as well. They then are drawn into a discussion regarding their vegetarianism. Frequently, there will be someone present who actually feels hostile to vegetarianism and regards it as a personal challenge. If this is the case, all sorts of outrageous issues are thrown out to see how the vegetarian will handle them. The vegetarian, enthusiastic reformer, sees the opportunity as one of education; but it is not. instead it is a teasing game of manipulation. At times, ludicrous questions are raised; they imply that the entire discussion is ludicrous. ~ Carol J. Adams
Vegetarian quotes by Carol J. Adams
It already smells good," he said, pointing toward the stove. "It smells ... quiet." He looked at her.
"Quiet? Could something smell quiet" She was thinking about the phrase, asking herself. He was right. After the pork chops and steaks and roasts she cooked for the family, this was quiet cooking. No violence involved anywhere down the food chain, except maybe for pulling up the vegetables. The stew cooked quietly and smelled quiet. ~ Robert James Waller
Vegetarian quotes by Robert James Waller
I think what I'd really like to see would be a mass consciousness-raising movement so that we would all become vegetarian. ~ Richard Dawkins
Vegetarian quotes by Richard Dawkins
I'm into yoga, I meditate all the time, I'm vegetarian. ~ Russell Brand
Vegetarian quotes by Russell Brand
The steam of meat darkens the light of the spirit ... One hardly can have virtue when one enjoys meat meals and feasts ... ~ Saint Basil
Vegetarian quotes by Saint Basil
In its sacredness, families get together to (unintentionally?) celebrate one genocide (against Native Americans) by committing another (against turkeys). ~ Daniel Brook
Vegetarian quotes by Daniel Brook
The hippopotamus is a vegetarian and looks like a wall. Lions who eat only red meat are sleek and slim. Are nutritionists on the wrong track? ~ Erma Bombeck
Vegetarian quotes by Erma Bombeck
I don't eat meat. I've been a vegetarian since 1971. I've gradually become increasingly vegan. I am largely vegan, but I'm a flexible vegan. I don't go to the supermarket and buy non-vegan stuff for myself. But when I'm traveling or going to other people's places, I will be quite happy to eat vegetarian rather than vegan. ~ Peter Singer
Vegetarian quotes by Peter Singer
Our treatment of animals, in every department, is deeply and systematically immoral. Becoming a vegetarian is only the most minimal ethical response to the magnitude of the evil. ~ Colin McGinn
Vegetarian quotes by Colin McGinn
I didn't grow up vegan or vegetarian. I grew up with junk food! And because of the way I ate before changing my diet, I can truly understand the challenges of making changes and stepping away from foods that provided a form of comfort and happiness growing up, but finding out that most of what I loved was really bad for me! ~ Kim Barnouin
Vegetarian quotes by Kim Barnouin
I was in my early 20s and open to alternative lifestyles. I thought, 'I bet you get a lot of attractive, interesting women in a vegetarian co-op.' ~ John Mackey
Vegetarian quotes by John Mackey
I started out as a writer with an hour removed from Kingdom of Heaven. You have to make one print for the entire world, and that's something that influences the theatrical cuts of pictures to an enormous degree. It's a reality. You can't have one cut for the Sunni, and one for the Shia, and one each for Tories, Whigs, vegetarians, one cut for the Cineplex, and one for literary intellectuals. ~ William Monahan
Vegetarian quotes by William Monahan
Whatever I decide will not work. It's what people want that will work. So no one decided whether you become a vegetarian or anything else. What determines that is the availability of food. If we run out of vegetation due to floods or natural disasters, people will consume meat and if we run out of meat they will consume vegetables. I have no control over that. That would be up to people. ~ Jacque Fresco
Vegetarian quotes by Jacque Fresco
Being around all the animals in the film Dr.Doolittle made me one too. ~ Samantha Eggar
Vegetarian quotes by Samantha Eggar
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot. ~ Joni Mitchell
Vegetarian quotes by Joni Mitchell
I decided to pick the diet that I thought would maximize my chances of long-term survival. ~ Al Gore
Vegetarian quotes by Al Gore
I was a vegetarian of sorts," he replied, "but the difference between animal and vegetable isn't as clearly defined on my home world as it is here."

"How do you mean?" I asked.

"Our plants can get out of the soil and move to a new location if they don't like where they're growing. Some of them are sentient. I tried not to eat those sorts of plants" he replied.

"Oh. Well, I'm sure they found that very thoughtful of you," I replied. ~ Lucy A. Snyder
Vegetarian quotes by Lucy A. Snyder
I don't see why someone should lose their life just so you can have a snack. ~ Russell Brand
Vegetarian quotes by Russell Brand
Part of my becoming a vegetarian was that I would look at my burger, then look at my dogs, and I wasn't able to see a difference. ~ Kristen Bell
Vegetarian quotes by Kristen Bell
Hitler was a vegetarian. ~ Michael Symon
Vegetarian quotes by Michael Symon
I am vegetarian, though, and so is my family. ~ Joely Fisher
Vegetarian quotes by Joely Fisher
The average age (longevity) of a meat eater is 63. I am on the verge of 85 and still work as hard as ever. I have lived quite long enough and am trying to die; but I simply cannot do it. A single beef-steak would finish me; but I cannot bring myself to swallow it. I am oppressed with a dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Vegetarian quotes by George Bernard Shaw
We have to create more and more vegetarians, and help people to understand that it is not only the suffering of the animals (which is what made me vegetarian) but also the incredible harm to the environment, the tremendous amount of greenhouse gas created by the whole vast machinery of intensive animal farming. ~ Jane Goodall
Vegetarian quotes by Jane Goodall
Vegetarianism serves as the criterion by which we know that the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of humanity is genuine and sincere. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Vegetarian quotes by Leo Tolstoy
We can't plead ignorance, only indifference. Those alive today are the generations that came to know better. We have the burden and the opportunity of living in the moment when the critique of factory farming broke into the popular consciousness. We are the ones of whom it will be fairly asked, What did you do when you learned the truth about eating animals? ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Vegetarian quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I'm not strictly vegetarian, but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet. ~ Katie Holmes
Vegetarian quotes by Katie Holmes
She hadn't understood what that cold moisture had been trying to say, as it drenched her battered body and spread through her dried-up veins. It had simply leached through into her flesh, down to her very bones. ~ Han Kang, The Vegetarian
Vegetarian quotes by Han Kang, The Vegetarian
Are you a vegetarian?' I ask, based on the evidence in front of me.
She nods.
'Why?'
'Because I have this theory that when we die, every animal that we've eaten has a chance at eating us back. So if you're a carnivore and you add up all the animals you've eaten
well, that's a long time in purgatory, being chewed.'
'Really?'
She laughs. 'No. I'm just sick of the question. I mean, I'm a vegetarian because I think it's wrong to eat other sentient creatures. And it sucks for the environment. ~ David Levithan
Vegetarian quotes by David Levithan
Ralph Nader choose the man with whom to share the responsibility of running a distant third, California activist Peter Camejo. You may remember that Camejo ran for president in 1976 on the Socialist Workers Party ticket. Actually, you might only remember that if you run a lesbian, vegetarian, bookstore. ~ Jon Stewart
Vegetarian quotes by Jon Stewart
I am vegetarian, so I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from leather or suede or any animal products. Shoes are hard to find. These are fake Uggs. And I've got a pair of vintage boots, which are PVC. ~ Leona Lewis
Vegetarian quotes by Leona Lewis
The first thing to understand is that being a vegetarian is actually a private matter. I'm still taken aback by the question " then what do you eat?" and am embarrassed as I struggle to produce the weeks food diary. Its not that I'm ashamed of what I eat, but its none of anyone's business. I imagine I would have a similar feeling counting up how many pairs of underwear I went thru in a week. The only reason opening someone's fridge is more socially acceptable than opening someone's medicine cabinet is that people keep beer in their fridge. ~ Sloane Crosley
Vegetarian quotes by Sloane Crosley
India introduced Britain to vegetarianism - see Tristram Stuart's excellent first book on this - and it is possible, indeed all too easy, to be a vegetarian in India and eat extraordinarily good, varied food every day, with very few 'repeats.' ~ Neel Mukherjee
Vegetarian quotes by Neel Mukherjee
Because I love the taste of meat I am a reluctant but dedicated vegetarian. ~ Rex Harrison
Vegetarian quotes by Rex Harrison
Hold on. I thought you were a vegetarian?" She swallowed. "No, I'm a don't-tell-me-what-to-do-atarian ~ Nicole Archer
Vegetarian quotes by Nicole Archer
Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will become a vegetarian. ~ Heywood Broun
Vegetarian quotes by Heywood Broun
If you visit the killing floor of a slaughterhouse, it will brand your soul for life. ~ Howard Lyman
Vegetarian quotes by Howard Lyman
With my time in the limelight, I regret that I didn't use it more to push vegetarianism. I support vegetarian options in the school lunch program. ~ Bernhard Goetz
Vegetarian quotes by Bernhard Goetz
If you've got any concern at all about animal welfare, you've got to not eat meat. ~ Russell Brand
Vegetarian quotes by Russell Brand
I'm not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat. ~ Al Gore
Vegetarian quotes by Al Gore
Well, everything with being vegan and vegetarian is a really big commitment. You have to do what you feel is best and what you believe in and what your body is telling you that it needs. I really think everyone should do what's best for them, and what's best for me may not be best for someone else. ~ Lea Michele
Vegetarian quotes by Lea Michele
Meat is necessary when there is hard physical work to be done, or in a very cold climate, or when edible plants cannot be found ... Animal flesh provides all the substances we need, both for the intensive working of our organism and for maintaining a normal temperature in cold climates. ~ G.I. Gurdjieff
Vegetarian quotes by G.I. Gurdjieff
I have dreams too, you know. Dreams…and I could let myself dissolve
into them, let them take me over…but surely the dream isn't all there is? We have to wake up at some
point, don't we? Because…because then… ~ Han Kang
Vegetarian quotes by Han Kang
My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals ~ Moby
Vegetarian quotes by Moby
You can be vegetarian and eat fish. It's your choice, just say: 'I am what I am.' There are no hardcore divisions anymore. ~ Yotam Ottolenghi
Vegetarian quotes by Yotam Ottolenghi
The moral duty of man consists of imitatingthe moral goodness and beneficence of God,manifested in the creation, toward all His creatures. ~ Thomas Paine
Vegetarian quotes by Thomas Paine
Love is when you fry the other person's bacon even if you're a vegetarian. ~ Patricia Nell Warren
Vegetarian quotes by Patricia Nell Warren
Yet complicated people were getting wet - not only the shepherds. For instance, the piano-tuner was sopping. So was the vicar's wife. So were the lieutenant and the peevish damsels in his Battlesden car. Gallantry, charity, and art pursued their various missions, perspiring and muddy, while out on the slopes beyond them stood the eternal man and the eternal dog, guarding eternal sheep until the world is vegetarian. ~ E. M. Forster
Vegetarian quotes by E. M. Forster
The symbolism of meat-eating is never neutral. To himself, the meat-eater seems to be eating life. To the vegetarian, he seems to be eating death. There is a kind of gestalt-shift between the two positions which makes it hard to change, and hard to raise questions on the matter at all without becoming embattled. ~ Mary Midgley
Vegetarian quotes by Mary Midgley
I also became a vegetarian when I was 14 because I realized eating animals was cruel. ~ Julia Hill
Vegetarian quotes by Julia Hill
In fact, we are designed anatomically to be vegetarians. ~ Sharon Gannon
Vegetarian quotes by Sharon Gannon
I almost fainted. There was no family history. I had been eating a vegetarian diet and I exercised. ~ Rue McClanahan
Vegetarian quotes by Rue McClanahan
Even if we cannot be completely non-voilent, by being vegetarian we are going in the direction of non-voilence ~ Nhat Hanh
Vegetarian quotes by Nhat Hanh
MichaelTobias
Evolution does not condemn us. Only our choices can do that. It is imperative that we cherish, nurture, and endeavor to protect all life forms. That is the wake-up call of this generation. No environmentalist can be true to him/herself if they inflict pain on other creatures. Vegetarian ethics is basic to the last ecological frontier. ~ Michael Tobias
Vegetarian quotes by Michael Tobias
But I'm also a vegetarian so there's another factor I guess. ~ Radha Mitchell
Vegetarian quotes by Radha Mitchell
How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a leaf? ~ Larry Niven
Vegetarian quotes by Larry Niven
